Xmal Deutschland - Gift (The 4AD Years) 2CD

THIS IS A PRE ORDER: RELEASE DATE: 9th May 2025

The extraordinary impact Xmal Deutschland had upon British audiences in the early Eighties is difficult to convey forty years on.

Their breakthrough support slot with Cocteau Twins and first two albums with 4AD dazzled and dug deep, speaking in tones and temperatures unlike any band before or since. “And at some point, it seemed to people we just...disappeared”, muses singer Anja Huwe. “So this myth of Xmal Deutschland just got bigger and bigger over the years…”
